I wait to step on the scale to weigh myself until after I've breastfed. #everybitcounts
I only weigh myself on days when I poop in the morning before I have eaten or drank anything. I just may add breastfeeding to the pre weigh in check list.

I've been growing my hair out since we started trying to get pregnant so that I could have a ponytail (ie not have to do my hair). Well, I finally have a tiny, ugly ponytail, with short hairs all around it that don't fit! Another year and I'll be so happily rocking a messy bun. If I don't get fed up and chop it off first.

We cloth diaper during the day at home, but use disposables at night and whenever we're out and about, and have done this with all three kids because it saves $$$.
FFFC (late) is that as cute as the fluffy butts are, I would quit CDing in an instant if finances allowed. I hate washing diapers.
FFFC a day late. We are staying with the ILs this weekend and I hopped in the shower this morning. Apparently BIL keeps his towel hanging on the rack in the shower. As I was washing I realized right boob decided to start spraying everywhere, including BIL's towel. I will not be telling anyone about this or replacing the towel with a fresh one from the closet...

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. Long story short, basically baby is uncommonly fussy due to a few mostly minor medical issues that we are having looked at, and it is leaving my husband and me very frazzled and just trying to get by at this point. It has basically been two solid months of her crying and us trying not very successfully to console her, not leaving much time for almost anything else.

Hugs to you guys, constant crying is so tough, it feels like it leaves you on edge all the time. Hope you'll get some answers/help for the medical issues soon.
Also, deep down I want LO to start taking a bottle so I can switch to formula when or before I go back to work. BF is going well, but I don't think I'll be able to handle pumping while teaching full time, not having a break other than my lunch some days.
I am so worried about this. I got my schedule and teach four classes in a row most days. I just don't know how it's going to work.
My schedule is going to be a nightmare to try and pump. My prep period is 2nd period... Meaning I teach periods 3-7 straight. Short 20 minute lunch after 4th, but it's going to be tough. I won't have any preps on Wednesday, as we have block scheduling. Ugh. Glad I am not the only one dealing with this! Good luck!

I'm so nervous about this too. I'm starting at a new school this year, and there are two of us on the same team who will be pumping (my coworker had her baby in July). I've definitely cried a couple of times in the past week thinking about having to give up bfing because of stupid scheduling issues. I just feel like I've worked so hard up until this point, and I don't want to give it up. I'm totally going to walk out whenever I need to during my TWO WEEKS of inservice. Two. Effing. Weeks.

TWO WEEKS??? Holy shit I thought the couple of days we have is torture....have to admit I'm kind of glad I'm not going back this fall.

This is where we were at until we had DS's reflux addressed. Screaming all the time unless he was sleeping or eating. It still isn't perfect, but we feel like we have a different kid now that he is on meds. FX that you guys have a similar experience! I'll be thinking about you! Keep us posted!

What the crap?! Two weeks of Inservice?! That sounds like one of Dante's circles of hell to me. I am so so sorry. Your administarators are asshats.
gigi3126 two weeks of inservice? Oh my! I'd lose my mind. I hate inservice!
I'm anxious about pumping while day to day subbing. I'll need to ask in every school where to go and I'll have a variable schedule. Hopefully I'll repeat some schools so I can at least know where to go! I bought a battery pack for my pump just in case I wasn't given an option of a plug. I'm anticipating a lot of bathrooms.

Just so you know, legally, they have to offer you a space other than a bathroom.
beersandweirs sending you lots of hugs. I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel once you get the health stuff sorted... And we are here for you!
kemdupuis I know, but as a sub I'm usually treated as a second class citizen. I know in most schools teachers usually pump in their rooms with construction paper over the doors or something. Not sure if places will have a designated spot not will they make one.
